Rancho Shock Absorber OEM RS999297

This Rancho rear shock absorber restores body-motion control and OE damping response.

Shock absorbers control the compression and rebound of the suspension so the tire stays in contact with the road surface. When shocks fail, you get excessive body roll in corners, nose-dive under braking, tire cupping, and a floaty ride over expansion joints. Replacing shocks in axle pairs keeps handling balanced.The manufacturer part number covers a broad range of makes, models, and model years - which is common for hardware kits, hydraulic components, and service items where the same physical piece is used across many platforms. The correct way to confirm this fits your vehicle is to match the manufacturer part number against your service manual, the OE parts diagram, or the part you are replacing. If your service manual cross-references this manufacturer PN, or if the piece you are removing carries this number physically stamped or labeled, you are looking at the correct replacement.

If you would like us to verify fitment against your VIN or vehicle configuration before you buy, contact us with the year, make, model, submodel, and trim of your vehicle and we will confirm the cross-reference against the manufacturer catalog.

Cross-Reference

Manufacturer part number RS999297. This is a Rancho catalog part. Confirm the OE reference for your vehicle matches before installing.

Why You Might Need This

Worn shocks show up as excessive body roll in corners, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear (cupping on the outer or inner edge), or fluid leaking down the shock body. Any of these is enough reason to replace.

Installation Notes

Replace shocks in axle pairs to keep handling balanced. Cycle the new shock through its full stroke by hand to distribute the internal gas charge before installing. Torque the mounts to spec with the suspension loaded at ride height, not with the wheels hanging.

Shipping and Returns

Free shipping on orders over $75. Same-day shipping on in-stock parts ordered before 2:00 PM CT weekdays. Orders placed after the same-day cutoff ship the next business day. Every order ships from our climate-controlled warehouse; parts do not sit outside where humidity and temperature swings could damage packaging.

30-day return window on unopened, unused parts in original packaging. Open parts installed without verified fitment: no return, or up to a 40 percent restocking fee depending on condition. Brake friction material (pads and shoes) is safety-critical and cannot be returned once a pad has touched a rotor. If a part does not fit your vehicle as described, we cover the return shipping and make it right.
